Ugene's Reporting Blog

We were  learning to improve our athletics skills so we could do our best on athletics day Last week on Thursday and Friday we had trials for inter-school athletics but sadly I did not make it. I was good at keeping on trying and never giving up even when I wanted to give up. Because when I did not give up I got better and got a bronze. I need to work on listening to the feedback because it will help me improve by telling me what I need to work on next to make it into athletics. I need to work on swinging my arms at a 90 degree angle because it will make me cut through the air and go fire and higher. I am going to achieve my next steps are not to give up and try harder because when I try harder I can accomplish my goal and get what I want.

The Day It Struck Can’t run, can’t hide Thinking of the things that might happen. Hearing my cousins screaming gives me the shivers straight down my spine. “Are yous alright” I ask My dog was barking as loud as if he’s trying to tell us something. The table was doing a crazy hula. Stiff as a statue, Not knowing what to do. Voices were saying… “Kids come quick hurry, hurry” Mom said The earthquakes finished but I’m too worried to sleep. By Jillian and Ugene

Purpose: How do we create bold images that represent our ancestors and what they are remembered for? I was good at using bold lines in my artwork because I did not colour on the  lines and it made my artwork more  bold. Another thing I was good at was using bright colours to make my ancestor portrait stand out. I need to work on using cultural patterns  like maori because i did not use a lots of maori  patterns in my artwork.
